Siakam finished with at least 25 points, 10 rebounds and six assists for a second consecutive contest. The dynamic forward hasn't missed a game since the end of November and appears to be getting hot for the stretch run. Across eight March appearances, Siakam has averaged 17.9 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 0.9 steals in 37.4 minutes.
Siakam ended Tuesday's 125-110 win over the Nuggets with 12 points (6-16 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal in 39 minutes.
Siakam was held under 15 points for a second consecutive game Tuesday, but he saw an uptick in rebounds during the comfortable victory.

Rotowire
Siakam accumulated 20 points (9-21 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals across 41 minutes during Wednesday's 108-100 loss to the Clippers.
Siakam had a decent night shooting the ball and managed to reach the 20-point threshold for the first time since Feb. 28. However, his scoring numbers have been down in the early stages of March, as he's averaging 16.8 points through his first four games after putting up 26.3 points per night over 11 February appearances.

Raptors' Pascal Siakam: Struggles with shot in loss
Rotowire
Siakam racked up 13 points (6-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 11 rebounds, six assists and one block over 39 minutes during Thursday's 119-108 loss to the Wizards.
Siakam had scored at least 20 points in eight straight games entering Thursday, but he made just six shots on a disappointing scoring night. For the first time this season, he didn't attempt a free throw. However, the two-time All Star still had a productive night, and he's now grabbed eight or more rebounds in three straight games. He matched his season average with six assists and even swatted a shot. Siakam will have better offensive games, and he will get another shot at Washington on Saturday.

Raptors' Pascal Siakam: Continues to shoot well from three
Rotowire
Siakam chipped in 25 points (10-24 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds and five assists over 33 minutes during Sunday's 118-93 loss to the Cavaliers.
Siakam has been a scoring machine for the Raptors, as he has at least 25 points in seven straight games. His three-point shooting has been excellent during this streak, with a 54.8 percent mark. Unfortunately, the All-Star forward made just six of his 17 two-pointers. Plus, he tied a season low with just one free-throw attempt, to prevent a monster offensive output. The Raptors' leading scorer has yet to score less than 10 points in a game this season and should continue to provide consistent scoring the rest of the way.

Raptors' Pascal Siakam: Drops 29 points in win
Rotowire
Siakam had 29 points (9-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 10-13 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, two blocks and three steals over 35 minutes during Saturday's 95-91 victory over the Pistons.

Raptors' Pascal Siakam: Strong showing in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Siakam supplied 28 points (10-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), six assists, four rebounds and two blocks across 38 minutes during Sunday's 119-118 victory over the Pistons.
With OG Anunoby (wrist) still sidelined and Gary Trent (calf) unavailable, the Raptors went with a big starting lineup that featured Jakob Poeltl at center and three forwards, but the shift didn't slow down Siakam. The 28-year-old has scored more than 20 points in five of six games in February, missing in the sixth game by a single point, and during that stretch, he's averaging 27.2 points, 7.0 boards, 5.2 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.2 steals.

Raptors' Pascal Siakam: Drops 35 points in loss
Rotowire
Siakam finished with 35 points (12-21 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, four assists and three steals over 39 minutes during Friday's 122-116 loss to the Jazz.
Siakam was one of the most frequently mentioned names on the rumor mill leading up to the deadline, but the Raptors held tight and added some reinforcements up front in Jakob Poeltl. Siakam's role on the Raptors remains unchanged, and that's totally fine with his fantasy managers. In his previous 15 games, Siakam put up 23.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.5 assists.

Raptors' Pascal Siakam: Big double-double against Spurs
Rotowire
Siakam chipped in 37 points (15-21 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 112-98 victory over the Spurs.
It was the 28-year-old's best scoring performance since he erupted for 52 against the Knicks on Dec. 21. Siakam hasn't scored less than 19 in any of the last 10 games, averaging 24.3 points, 7.2 boards, 5.2 assists and 1.4 threes over that stretch, but his role and production could be impacted with the Raptors having traded for Jakob Poeltl after Wednesday's win. Siakam has primarily played center this season, but it seems unlikely Toronto will have Poeltl come off the bench, given the price the team paid to repatriate him.

Raptors' Pascal Siakam: Scores 19 points with 17 shots
Rotowire
Siakam contributed 19 points (7-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Sunday's 106-103 victory over the Grizzlies.
Siakam didn't have his best shooting performance, but he still delivered a decent overall fantasy line and scored at least 19 points for a ninth straight contest. It remains to be seen if the Raptors will part ways with Siakam before the Feb. 9 trade deadline, and a potential change of scenery could certainly impact his fantasy value. However, as long as he remains Toronto, he'll be the Raptors' best fantasy asset. Siakam is averaging 22.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 0.7 blocks per game since the start of January (19 games).

Raptors' Pascal Siakam: Comes alive after rough start
Rotowire
Siakam fouled out of Wednesday's 131-128 loss to the Jazz after recording 21 points (9-22 FG, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists over 39 minutes.
Siakam couldn't buy a bucket in the first quarter, going 0-of-6 from the field while adding four boards and two assists. He found his groove from the second quarter on, knocking down nine of 16 shots for 19 points over that stretch as the Raptors dropped their second straight game on the road. Siakam was one of three Toronto players to finish with double-digit rebounds on the night, and he trailed only Fred VanVleet for the team lead in assists with five. The power forward has now scored 20 or more points in eight of his last 10 games, though he did foul out of Wednesday's contest for the fifth time this season.

Raptors' Pascal Siakam: Struggles with efficiency again
Rotowire
Siakam racked up 19 points (7-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 38 minutes during Monday's 114-106 loss to the Suns.
Siakam hasn't shot over 50 percent from the field in five straight games, but he's still been able to supply quality production during that stretch, posting 22.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 37.2 minutes. The efficiency struggles are certainly concerning, but the veteran forward is unlikely to lose his role as the Raptors' go-to playmaker anytime soon.

Raptors' Pascal Siakam: Records robust stat line Wednesday
Rotowire
Siakam racked up 26 points (11-24 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 113-95 win over Sacramento.
Siakam put his well-rounded skill set on full display against the Kings, leading his team in points and boards while finishing second in assists. The talented center also registered a pair each of steals and blocks, marking just the third time this season he's posted more than one of each stat in a game. Through 13 contests in January, Siakam is averaging 22.7 points, 8.1 boards, 6.3 dimes, 1.2 three-pointers and 1.0 blocks while playing a hearty 38.8 minutes per game.

Raptors' Pascal Siakam: Leads scoring effort
Rotowire
Siakam logged 29 points (14-23 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists and one block across 43 minutes during Saturday's 106-104 loss to the Celtics.
Siakam wasn't shy on the offensive end and put up a game-high 29 points. He attempted his most shots from the field since Dec. 27, and he also missed a triple-double by one rebound. Siakam has now reached the 20-point threshold in three of his last four games.
Siakam finished Thursday's 128-126 loss to the Timberwolves with 13 points (6-16 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists and one block in 41 minutes.
Siakam struggled from the field in the loss, shooting under 38 percent for the third time in his past four games. Despite being a top 50 player this season, he is outside the top 150 over the past two weeks. The Raptors continue to give their starters heavy minutes, something that could catch up with them at some point. Siakam should turn things around sooner rather than later, although perhaps this is a bit of a buy-low opportunity for anyone interested.

Raptors' Pascal Siakam: Secures impressive final line

Siakam produced 20 points (7-19 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists and three blocks in 46 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 123-121 overtime win over the Knicks.
Siakam did it all in Monday's victory, as he flirted with a triple-double and protected the rim by swatting away three shots. He's now recorded a block in three straight matchups, and he's scored 20 or more points in four of his last five.

Siakam supplied 15 points (5-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one block across 34 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 114-103 loss to the Hawks.
Siakam didn't look like himself from the field in this one, knocking down only 31.3 percent of his attempts while going 0-for-4 from downtown. Coming into the contest, he was shooting 47.4 percent from the field and 43.5 percent from deep through his first six appearances in January, so this performance seems to be a one-off for the New Mexico State product.

Siakam has had a particularly dominant stretch on the scoreboard recently, as he's scored at least 25 points in 11 of the last 13 matchups, and he's posted three double-doubles during that time. He fell three rebounds short of a double-double Thursday but led the Raptors on the scoreboard during the victory.

The Raptors' offense woke up in this one, with Siakam, OG Anunoby and Gary Trent all delivering more than 20 points and the team as a whole shooting 45.5 percent from three-point range. Siakam at least has been rolling for longer than just one night, scoring at least 25 in 10 of his last 12 games and averaging 28.3 points, 8.1 boards, 5.9 assists and 1.6 threes over that stretch.
